Struggling With Weight Control?

or, how wireless keeps you fat!

At first sight, there may
not appear to be any connection between weight and wireless but the latest
scientific research strongly suggests ways in which these two apparently
unrelated factors can conspire against your best intentions. If you want to
understand why dieting and losing weight are so hard - read on…

Modern life now contains a
wide array of new chemical toxins that our bodies have to find a way to neutralise
if they are to remain healthy. From fire-retardants in electronics and
furniture to pesticide residues in foods, our remarkable immune systems have to
deal with them all. If they cannot get rid of these poisons, our bodies have to
sequester them (store them away for later) in hopes of processing them when the
body is better equipped. Be it chemical overload, an infection or even just
exhaustion, until a change of circumstance occurs within the body it must park
toxic substances somewhere and in most cases it deposits them in water (lymph)
and fat. The cells that make up your body demand that you maintain an internal
environment that suits them within very tight limits (homeostasis). If toxin
levels rise too high, one strategy the body has at its disposal is to simply
make the body bigger, thus reducing the toxin level per kilo. Retaining water
dilutes water-soluble toxins but lipotrophic toxins (non-water soluble) must be
stored in fat, connective tissue and muscles. The brain is 75% fat. Microwave
radiation makes its Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) more porous, allowing toxins,
such as lead and mercury to lodge there more easily. Obesity is caused by water
retention, for which salt is implicated as well as chlorine in drinking, cooking
and showering water. Chorine cannot be a good thing as it is more reactive than
iodine, a shortage of which leads to thyroid problems.

One of the reasons digital
wireless telecommunications technology is so robust, reliable and popular is because all the
receiving equipment has to do is distinguish between transmitted zeros and
ones. The bigger the 'ones', the more reliable the communications. The higher
the frequency, the faster data can be transferred. Average signal power levels
(the main aspect people refer to) are biologically important but it is the peak
power levels (of fractions of a second duration) that the cells of the body are
tuned to receive. When the body's cells get hit by microwave pulses at the
sorts of very low levels they normally operate at and of the right sort of
frequency and duration, they start behaving abnormally and react as if they are
under attack by closing the ion channels in their semi-permeable membranes. The
cells react by producing measurable levels of heat-shock proteins whose job is
to refold damaged DNA. The mitochondrial powerhouses inside each cell keep
producing energy, manufacturing all the various chemicals, hormones and
proteins the body needs. Not only can these essential products not get out but
nutrients cannot get in. What's more, the waste by-products of cellular metabolism
cannot get out. The result - the cells' internal environment becomes polluted
and they are less able to do what they are supposed to do, one aspect of which
is to detoxify the numerous chemical pollutants we encounter every day!

Cells normally 'aspirate'
around 3 times a minute. That is to say they expel their metabolic products and
waste materials and take in nutrients and signalling hormones. They can withstand
a suspension of this process for only a limited time without suffering
disruption, damage, permanent loss of efficiency or death. If wireless exposure is chronic and cells
remain too long in reactive 'lock-down' mode with their membranes closed tight,
they die which releases further toxic waste products the body must deal with.

When a person tries to
lose weight, the toxins previously locked up in water, fat, muscle, organs and
connective tissue are released and have to be processed. Unless the
circumstances that lead to their sequestration have changed (e.g. during sleep
when the body attempts to detoxify itself from the ravages of the waking day)
their release only makes matters worse. The solution the body is apt to call
for is - more water and more food! Hunger is your body's message that it needs
more nutrients. If your diet does not provide what it needs your body may well accept
pizza, chips, beer, bread and sausages just to get something it can work with.
No wonder dieting is such an up-hill struggle, one which often results in even
more cravings. Though it may sound obvious, the body's need for nutrition will
only be satisfied in the long-term when it needs less food! 'Nutrition' and
'food' mean different things. Nutrition as referred to here includes all the
vitamins, minerals, water, amino acids carbohydrates, fats and calories the
body needs. Simply giving it supplements may not address the fundamental issue
of the cells and the body as a whole having difficulty detoxifying itself.
Central to cells' efficiency is their ability to aspirate properly and this is
compromised by exposure to electromagnetic radiation as outlined above.
Always-on EMR sources prevent the body's cells from operating properly and it
is the cells which detoxify the body that we are most concerned with here.

Digestion - if your gut
flora is incapable of extracting the nutrients your cells need from the foods
you are giving it, the body's response is to demand more food - and almost
anything will do no matter how bad we know it is for us. Not only does our diet
need to be balanced but our insides need to efficiently extract and process what
goes into our mouths if our bodies are to remain healthy and energised.

Intestinal Parasites - long
overlooked in sophisticated Britain are not, as they say, 'everyone's cup of
tea.' Undiagnosed however, they may be robbing your body of what it needs from
the supply available in a limited diet. Supplements will only make the
parasites stronger unless they are eliminated before supplementation commences.
Parasite by-products and die-off may also play a part in the toxic
rollercoaster that many dieters experience.

What Can You Do? Between
cells trying to get their needs met and parasites stealing nutrients and
producing toxic waste products, it should come as no surprise that what we eat
is highly influenced by their needs. Both our cells and the parasites they
compete with release chemicals (hormones) that drive our behaviour. So instead
of beating yourself up for that second slice of pizza or chocolate cookie,
perhaps you would be more in control if you examined your external and internal
environments.

Co-Factors:

Wheat - modern wheat is
markedly different genetically from the wheat eaten by our forebears. You might
consider a wheat-free diet to combat inflammation but as many foods now contain
it, it may take some diligence and label reading to successfully eliminate it
from your lifestyle.

Milk - homogenised milk
makes the butterfat molecules small enough to transit the gut before they get
digested. What is often perceived as lactose intolerance may simply be the body’s
immune response to undigested fat globules that make it into the lymph and blood.

Conclusions - everyone's
situation, inclination and motivation are likely to be different but if you
struggle with maintaining a comfortable weight, perhaps these aspects of your
'environment' may benefit from your attention and further consideration:
